Meddling with Mistletoe by Liz Johnson
Publisher: Revell (September 3, 2024)
ISBN-13: 978-0800744885
OVERVIEW:
Whitney Garrett is preparing to enter culinary school in the spring, but first, she has to sell enough homemade pies at the local Christmas markets to pay her tuition. When her oven breaks, Whitney asks Marie Sloan, proprietor of the Red Door Inn, if she can use the inn’s kitchen to keep up with her orders. Marie agrees, with a catch: Whitney has to watch the three Sloan children and cook breakfasts for the Red Door in return.
The inn is busy with holiday guests–including Aretha Franklin Sloan’s perpetually single nephew Daniel and Ruby, a businesswoman in town to purchase Aretha’s antique store. Intent on making a Christmas match for the two, Aretha enlists Whitney’s help in her schemes. But the deeper Whitney gets, the more she realizes that Ruby is definitely not the right woman for Daniel–and the more she thinks that she just might be his perfect match.
Meddling with Mistletoe by Liz Johnson Review
This author is a first-time read for me and I enjoyed this cute story. It has all of the earmarks of a sweet Christmas romance, including icy weather, sweet kiddos, and a meddling family!
This sweet story brings together people from other books in the series, I am assuming, as they were referring to other characters not in this book. It was not overly distracting as the author did a great job blending them into the story.
Great characters who balance each other out and who are fun, wholesome, and caring. Auntie was a bit over the top as she was desperate to get in the middle of a budding romance by forcing interactions with another woman who was supposedly perfect for her nephew, Daniel. But he has eyes for another.
I love the way Daniel spoke to the female main character, Ruby, with deep insight, support, and kindness. They truly are meant for each other.
This faith-based romance is an easy-to-read story that brings the sweet side of life and a lovely ending too.
